Why is a blanket a better conductor of heat when it's wet rather than it being dry?
the blanket has water and water is a very good conductor so a wet blanket is a better conductor than a dry blanket
Why is a rag a better conductor of heat when wet than when dry?
A dry rag has quite a bit of air trapped in its structure, and air is an insulator of heat. Replace the air with water, which conducts heat much better than air does, and the heat conductivity will be greatly increased.
Is wood an efficient conductor of heat energy?
No

Why is it safer to pick up hot dishes with a dry tea towel than a wet one?
If a hot plate gets wet, hot water might splash back on you from the hot plate due to the Leidenfrost Effect, which prevents the water from turning into steam right away. It is safer to use a dry towel to avoid this possibility.

Why is moist heat efficient than dry heat?
Conductivity. Moisture conducts the heat better than a dry system.
Which is hotter moist heat or dry heat?
Conductivity. Moisture conducts the heat better than a dry system.
Why does dry heat require higher temperatures for longer time periods to sterilize than does moist heat?
Water has a higher heat capacity than air. In other words, air is a very poor conductor of heat while water is a very efficient conductor of heat.
Does carbon dioxide sublime more quickly in water or air?
Water is a far better conductor of heat than air (because of its density). This results in more heat being brought into contact with the dry ice and a faster rate of sublimation.
Why is dry heat better for arthritis?
There is no definite evidence that it is.
Which material conducts the least heat steel or wood?
Of those two choices, wood, when it's dry, is the poorer conductor, of both electricity and heat.

Why do little patches of fabric come out of vellux blankets?
Velux blankets are uniquely made. Nylon fibers are given a static charge to stand up on the fabric substrate, and a glued on to make the blanket. Never wash a blanket in the washing machine. Never expose it to high heat. Patches come loose , or rather unglued. Keep the blanket dry, and away from heat.
Can my blanket get mold if it doesn't dry?
yes
